Rhea and Enceladus
|
Though much farther away from Cassini when the spacecraft acquired this image, Saturn's second-largest moon Rhea (1,528 kilometers, 949 miles across) still dwarfs the brightest icy moon Enceladus (504 kilometers, 313 miles across) in this scene. The image was taken in visible light with the narrow angle camera on February 21, 2005, from a distance of approximately 2 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Enceladus and 2.5 million kilometers (1.6 million miles) from Rhea. The image scale is 12 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel on Enceladus, and 15 kilometers (9 miles) per pixel on Rhea. |
